Abstract
- The article focuses on the legal liability and health problems arising from the exposure of silica in the workplace in Australia. The deadly dust threatens to set off personal injury claims in the area and multi-million-dollar lawsuits against companies. Silica are said to scar, shrink, and break down the lungs killing thousands of people around the world. Potential defendants are those firms supplying products with silica including Orica Ltd., Pink Batts company, and BHP Billiton company.
